Fatone also described one instance when, because of the group text, all five of them were all able to wish an *NSYNC fan with Down Syndrome a happy birthday.

“I think somebody asked Chris if he minded saying ‘happy birthday’ to a friend,” he said, “It just happened to be perfect timing because he’s like … ‘Maybe Joey will say happy birthday to her.’ Then he went, ‘Maybe JC will do it, maybe Justin will do it.'”

Fatone, 40, continued, “It was cute because he showed us a video of her looking at all of us saying ‘happy birthday’ one by one. They were all individual, but it was every guy. So she got all five of us saying ‘happy birthday,’ which is a rarity. That doesn’t come very often.”

The five band members reunited last August for Chasez’s 40th birthday. They also performed together at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards.
